Hat etiquette at casino?
Some will disagree, but it depends on the casino. We have numerous Indian casinos in my area, and the dress code there seems to be whatever you have on when you roll out of your RV in the morning. I see folks in pajamas, t-shirts, work uniforms, flip flops, caps, what have you. For me, any... -
Rancheros Visitadores 1951 W/graphics by Joe De Yong
Those hat pins are great, but to wear on a fedora ribbon, you either need to bend the pin or cut it off shorter, as it's about 2" long. Clint Orms does excellent silver work, and is highly recommended, as well as being a genuinely nice guy. Frank. -
Rancheros Visitadores 1951 W/graphics by Joe De Yong
Nice score. If that hat hat been listed as a Rancheros item, it would have sold for much more, especially with the Joe De Yong provenance. Vintage Rancheros items are highly collectible in California, and the club has had many high profile members, like Edgar Bergen, Walt Disney, Ronald... -
Customer experiences with Aero Leather
Just as soon as they start serving ice tea in hell, Randall. I like it just fine, don't need to know who finds it "a tad boxy," or thinks the sleeves are too long. Besides, it doesn't match my shorts at all. Frank- frussell

Customer experiences with Aero Leather
I was very pleased with the Long Half Belt I recently got in the mail. Since I had been reading the Aero threads on this forum, I knew that I was in for a much longer wait than the original quote. If I was just an average eBay customer dealing with AeroUSA and didn't frequent the Lounge, I...- frussell

Pre 1940s Stetson Westerns
Nice catch Alan. Hand-hitched horsehair is expensive nowadays, and is often duplicated with manmade materials. That one looks very DIY, which I like, maybe even by the owner of the hat. You used to see watch "chains," bridles, men's belts, just about everything western made with horsehair... -
The Brothers Hat Shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Hopefully their brick and mortar store is more of a pleasant experience than shopping with them online. I've bought two hats with them online in the last year. Both hats are great, Dobbs Arcadia straws, one for me and one for the wife because I liked mine so much. That's where the... -
Hats and Birkenstocks
I'm with Tonyb. I wear whatever hat with whatever I damn well please. I've found that most of the people who are the sharpest critics of others are not as vocal with their criticism in the real world, but feel like they are ten feet tall when they are online and there's no possibility of... -
Movies you wished you had never watched.
Gillian Anderson spent at least seven or eight years of her childhood in England, if I recall, so she gets a pass. Same with Jennifer Ehle. We'll have to agree to disagree on Zellweger. We are in definite agreement on poor old Dick Van Dyke. I'd still rather watch "Mary Poppins" than see...- frussell

Movies you wished you had never watched.
I couldn't get past the first 30 minutes of Gods and Generals. Nothing makes my skin crawl like fake southern accents, unless it's Americans doing fake British/Irish/Australian accents. On the other hand, I might sit through G&G again before I'd re-watch "J. Edgar." All the comments in that...- frussell

The best and worst vehicles for the hat wearer
Honda Element. I'm 6'5" with no hat on, and I can wear a hat in mine. This was actually a deciding factor in getting my first one several years ago. Once you get over the fact that you're driving what looks like a big toaster, pretty great vehicle all-around. I'm on my second one, but... -

No luck on eBay for now. Before I relist it, I'll offer it here for $90, shipped, with a wool-blend Old Navy grey military style jacket to keep it company. Thanks, Frank- frussell

HAT ADORNMENTS: ribbons, bows, pins, pugs, leather, etc.
TipTop - I've owned sterling hatbands before, and they look just fine on silverbelly hats as well. Just be careful, because like any silver jewelry, they will tarnish, especially in heat or humidity, and may leave marks on the felt. Mine were always on cowboy hats, placed over the original... -
How do I "break in" heavy horsehide?
Thanks. Actually, I was thinking the "spraying" might help me break it in quicker, if I can get uniform application!- frussell

How do I "break in" heavy horsehide?
I'm in the process of breaking in an FQHH Long Half Belt. I can understand the need to break it in faster, but I'll just try to wear it in naturally, as my experience with leatherwork tells me that quick and dirty fixes usually have long term harmful results. Horsehide is tough, and has long...- frussell

Big Leather Coat
Bump - need to make room, jackets as big as mine are space-hoggers. Even though this is marked as 4X, it fits the same as my size 52 Long Half Belt. Great jacket with lots of life left in it, but looks like it's been places. Frank.- frussell

Big Leather Coat
I won this coat a while back and had it cleaned at L.A. Leather, haven't worn it but once briefly since. I just got an Aero, and my local weather makes it near impossible to get much wear out of two leather jackets. This is an "Ash of London," says XXXXL, but it fits very much like my 3XL Tall...- frussell
